Redistricting Process - Phase 2

The second phase of Anne Arundel County Public Schools' comprehensive redistricting process began in February 2025 and culminate with a plan scheduled to be adopted by the Board of Education in November 2025.
The plan will consider boundaries for schools in the Annapolis, Arundel, Broadneck, Crofton, Severna Park, South River, and Southern clusters. As it did in Phase 1 of the redistricting process, AACPS is working with WXY to examine enrollment patterns across the schools in the clusters.
On July 23, 2025, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell delivered two recommendations to the Board of Education. The following links provide information related to Dr. Bedell’s recommendations and the process:

A webtool inclusive of an interactive map that allows for the input of addresses and the resulting school boundaries for those addresses can be found here. A direct link to the map can be found here. Once a user accesses the map functions, a button to provide comment will be available on the lower right portion of the map. Comments on either or both of the plans should be left through the comment portal to ensure they are reviewed.
